Encryption Recovery v11.9

Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) Recovery

With SED Recovery, you can recover access to files on a SED through the following methods:

• Perform a one-time unlock of the drive to bypass the Preboot Authentication (PBA).

• Unlock, then permanently remove the PBA from the drive. Single Sign-On will not function with the PBA removed.

  • With a remotely managed SED client, removing the PBA will require you to deactivate the product from the Remote Management Console if it is necessary to re-enable the PBA in the future.
  • With a locally managed SED client, removing the PBA will require you to deactivate the product inside the OS if it is necessary to re-enable the PBA in the future.
